PowerVC odd behavior with Cisco enhanced zoning

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

PowerVC doesn't manage uncommited zones in a Cisco Enhanced Fabric Zoneset. To me, this should be a defect, not a new feature request. Please review the associated PMR.

I believe that PowerVC should know that a zone is uncommited and work within those constraints. The whole point is to have validations so that SAN admins working on the Fabric outside of PowerVC (we have many other users using our fabrics) can do work and PowerVC would be smart enough to know to either fail immediately or retry until the previous work on zoning is commited. The same should apply when deleting a VM. If a zone is uncommited, it should wait until it is commited to delete or timeout after X minutes with an error, not through a "vm successfully deleted' and leave dozens of zones stranded.

Are we expected to go to a SAN administrator each time to make sure there's no zoning work in progress? This is not feasible and defeats the purpose of using PowerVC to simplify VM builds.
